    About this ebook

    Do you want to discover how to guide people in the right direction by recognizing their emotions?
    Do you wonder why some people are progressing faster in their careers than you, even when they seem less smart?
    Do you want to learn how to manage people more effectively, so you can cut your workweek from 60 hours to 40 hours or less?

    Then keep reading…

    A recent study in Career Builder shows that 71% of the hiring managers said: ´An employee´s Emotional Intelligence (or EQ), is more important than their IQ´. 75% of them even said they were more likely to promote a high-EQ employee than a high IQ employee.

    Which is why … since it was first labeled by professor Daniel Goleman in his 1995 bestseller, Emotional Intelligence … more and more evidence shows that your EQ has a bigger influence on your success as a leader than your IQ.

    And luckily, it´s a skill that can be acquired without months of studying.

    Here´s a tiny bit of what you´ll discover in ´Emotional Intelligence for Leadership´:

    • How to leverage positive emotions in people to increase their productivity and happiness (page 40 and page 53)
    • How to recognize 3 key emotions from other people and build better relationships (page 39)
    • How to avoid complaining and mockery within your workforce (page 126)
    • How to manage your own emotions so you can make decisions based on sound logic and reasoning (page 26)
    • How to use your voice to influence people and regain the positive spirit in your team (page 99)
    • How to turn jealousy into motivation by putting things in another perspective (page 117)
    • How to deal with the biggest enemy for the productivity of your team (page 122)

    And much, much more.

    Even if your empathy regarding other people´s feelings isn´t quite like Gandi´s or Mother Theresa´s. The everyday examples from the office floor will give you the tools and techniques to recognize and react to those emotions as a successful leader.

    Maybe you are doubting if reading a book about emotional intelligence can help you in your busy life as a modern-day leader. That´s why a big part of this book is dedicated to the unique 4 weeks Emotional Intelligence Booster Program.

    This program is specially developed to raise your EQ as a leader. Besides raising your self-awareness and getting more fruitful relationships, it will also skyrocket your chances of getting a promotion.

    It´s time to sharpen your most essential leadership skill: Emotional Intelligence.

      Introduction

      Everyone wants to improve their job, to get better at what they do. It’s a part of what makes us human. We desire innovation and the ability to overcome unique challenges. And that involves investing our entire selves into what we do. Perhaps, you are looking for ways to improve and develop further at work. There are many ways that we can improve our various situations by having the right attitude and work habits to promote productivity.

      One of the ways of developing productivity is by becoming emotionally mature in handling different situations. We have to develop emotional intelligence, to know how people are feeling at work, and think of different ways that we can improve the workspace at the office and promote worker happiness and satisfaction. That is one of our responsibilities as managers. It is to find ways that we can engage our employees and bring them to higher productivity and achievement so that we can promote our products and services and allow our customers to be happy.  Therefore, it is crucial that we find ways to connect with our workers emotional needs and it is helpful to have emotional intelligence.

      There are different benefits to developing one's emotional intelligence. For one, managers can learn to handle their teams better. Managers can learn what motivates their team and how they become emotionally sensitive to different issues. They can also learn how to handle demanding colleagues, who can be hard to deal with their emotional reactions and constant negativity at work. Additionally, emotional intelligence allows managers to create a working environment, where employees are developing positive and meaningful relationships with their peers. For employees, the benefits of gauging emotional intelligence can be helpful, because they can use social skills, the right emotions at the right time. They can then get things like pay raise or a promotion so that they can live happier lives. Finding the right motivations is a critical factor in increasing satisfaction in different people. Therefore, it is one of the best ways of getting people to perform well at work.

      The history of emotional intelligence research began with Peter Salovey and John D. Mayer. These two researchers created the term emotional intelligence.  They started a research program to highlight different measures of emotional intelligence in people. In one study, they discovered that when a group of people saw an emotionally-stirring film, those that had a higher emotional sensitivity were able to recover much more quickly than the ones that didn't. Within another study, people who were able to assess emotions accurately were able to adjust to changes within their social life and build positive social networks.

      In the 1990s, Daniel Goleman wrote a book, Emotional Intelligence (1995), which argued that emotional intelligence is more important than IQ in determining the success of an individual.  He regularly coaches others about the different competencies involved in relationship management. And he says that when someone focuses on improving their awareness of emotions, they will be able to see better health benefits and improvement in their relationships.  The research of Daniel Coleman has helped people as they have discovered the importance of emotional intelligence and how it can help develop a sense of community within different social circles. 

      This book is called Emotional Intelligence for Leadership, and it is going to show you all the different ways of developing emotional intelligence that will help your team to thrive with happy employees who will produce excellent work in your company. We will talk about various aspects of emotional intelligence, including self-awareness, self-regulation, social awareness, social skills, and assertiveness to become more productive. Having all of this knowledge will help you to become a better manager and to get more done with less time and energy. Within this book, we will give examples of the work environment with different stories to illustrate our points and provide a real-life scenario that you can understand completely. We want to allow this material to come alive as you are reading it, so you will have fun and learn a lot in the process.

      In our opinion, success is less determined by IQ (intelligence quotient) than it is by EQ (emotional quotient). You can have a high IQ and have a low EQ. The thing is, emotionally sensitive people can make a big difference in the workplace. They can foster a sense of community in others and witness the success of different colleagues in a company.  A survey by Career Builder in 2011 found that 71% of hiring managers said that they thought an employee's EQ was more important than their IQ. Also, 75% said that they would promote a person with a high EQ.

      Moreover, more than half (59%) reported that they would not hire a person who had a high IQ and a low EQ. Employers use EQ as a way of assessing if an individual has leadership potential and can make an impact in the workplace. It is something that employers want in their candidates, to meet the needs of the other workers.  It is also something that employers can use to build effective relationships with their employees. This aspect also helps them to develop their mindset in how they can be active managers and have a good relationship with their employees.

      There are two parts to this book. In the first part, we'll talk about emotions and self-awareness. We will discuss the
